America Online: Is It For Me?

America Online: Is It For Me?


     You have probably heard of the Internet, but you weren't really sure if

it was for you.   You thought about it, but after all it costs so much and

things like pornography and improper language are used everywhere, right?

Wrong!  Perhaps, I can convince you that America Online will be worth your time

and money.

     One of the main reasons that people don't go online is that they think

that it costs too much.  America Online or AOL doesn't really cost all that much.

When you sign on you get from 10 to 50 hours free, depending on the software

that you download.  Once you run out of free hours you may choose to stay online

with a monthly fee.  This monthly fee can be either $9.95 or $19.95 depending on

how many hours you plan on using.      If  you are concerned that your children

will visit web pages you prefer that they don't, then you can put parental

guards on that don't allow them to visit those web pages.  If you aren't

familiar with web pages, they are basically ads that you look at containing

information about the company, person, or product.  Also you can sign your child

on as a child or teen which keeps them out of restricted areas.      Perhaps

your main concern is people finding out things that you don't want them to.

They only know as much as you tell them.  If they ask for your password, credit

card number, or any other personal info, you don't have to tell them that

information.   When you first sign on AOL staff will  ask for things like name,

age, address, phone number, and your credit card or checking account number.

These things remain confidential and are used only for billing purposes.
